Why we Prep?
“I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.” – Rev. Chuck Swindoll.
And what could be more true than this?
I have the pleasure of attending Chuck Swindoll’s church every Sunday, Stonebriar Community Church, Frisco, TX., and listening to his sermons.
As I’ve mentioned before, modern survival doesn’t have to be extreme. In fact, it’s very common today and more so than ever, it’s necessary. So let me discuss WHY we should do it. It’s how you react to what happens to you. Your reaction will be determined by your level of preparation.
First of all, let’s discuss what common disasters happen in our daily lives. Here’s a list to start with, if you think of more, please feel free to comment! (This post will also be in the FORUM for more in depth discussion and comments from you. Please feel free to join our forum of like minded people.)
- Loss of loved one (primary income earner.)
- Regional weather disaster
- Home invasion
- Home fire
- Vehicle failure away from home
- Power outages (often related to weather disaster.)
- Terrorist attack (local or national)
- Inflation
- Taxation
- Banking system failure
- Identity theft
- Loss of job
Are you prepared for any and all of these? If not, why not? These are not extreme, but very realistic scenarios. Being unprepared is what get’s us in trouble.
Do you want your government to bail you out of these circumstances? How well has the government done in these situations so far? (They’ve done a great job with #8 and that’s all.) Do you trust your government, your friends, family, employer or neighbors to sustain you in times like these?
Take responsibility for yourself and prepare for these situations. Personal responsibility is the foundation of our liberty. If you put your trust in God and the abilities that he’s given you to gain knowledge and skill, you will be a true survivor and no matter what our crazy government does, nor whatever happens, you will be far more ready than the average person. So stay tuned for more this coming week, but I hope I’ve made the case as to “Why we Prepare.”
“Change” you REALLY CAN believe in.”

Chuck Swindoll rocks! I get the blessing of listening to this guy every now and then on the BOT Radio network.
He’s on track and really in tune with God. I envy you just a bit that you actually attend his church…that’s AWESOME!
